Nope its not rubbing, I'm running 30x9.50 on stock 15x6.5 wheels with a 3" lift so have plenty of clearance. Dont have mud flaps either.
Its only done it since Moab when I lost all the diff fluid twice. I did smack the ring gear with the diff cover on a rock but didnt see any damage to the gears, just the cover. Havent noticed any noise while doing a full lock turn on flat ground. I might pick up a bottle of addative tomorrow and run that in it this week then test it on the local m'cycle hills next weekend to see if it helped any. I noticed it doing it there in a couple spots a couple weeks ago.
Mike was behind me in his rodeo and said it didnt look like the unloaded wheel was doing anything so I'm not sure whats going on. I am having a problem with the e-brake sticking on so that might add to the problem. Will have to find the reason for that as well.
